With one week to go until The Open at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, the DP World Tour and PGA Tour head to Scotland for the co-sanctioned Genesis Scottish Open.
Held at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, the tournament will offer up some last-minute links preparation for the world’s best players ahead of the year’s final men’s Major championship at Hoylake.
With the co-sanctioned status, this year’s Scottish Open represents one of the best fields in the DP World Tour calendar, with 30 of the top 50 players in the world set to compete this week.
Last year saw America’s Xander Schauffele capture his third win of 2022 with a one-shot victory over fellow countryman Kurt Kitayama. The 29-year-old hasn’t competed since his T19 finish at the Travelers Championship but will look to continue his impressive record in the United Kingdom having also finished T15 at last year’s Open which was held at St Andrews.
This week’s field will be topped by World No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, who will look to improve on his missed cut from last year’s tournament as he bids to win for the first time outside of America. The 27-year-old already has two victories on the PGA Tour this year following his wins at the Players Championship and the WM Phoenix Open.
Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith are the only two players in the world’s top ten who aren’t competing in Scotland, meaning UK fans will be able to cheer on familar faces in Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick. World No. 11 Wyndham Clark, who finished T16 last year, is also set to compete in the tournament having won the US Open at Los Angeles Country Club last month.
2021 and 2020 Scottish Open champions, Min Woo Lee and England’s Aaron Rai, are two of the other recent champions also set to compete with both enjoying successful seasons on the PGA Tour so far this year. There is also space for World No. 23 and 2015 champion, Rickie Fowler, who will likely receive a warm welcome having recently won for the first time in four and a half years at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Ryder Cup hopeful Ludvig Aberg will also make his first start in Europe as a professional having been granted a sponsors exemption. The Swede, who only turned pro at the Canadian Open, has since recorded three-consecutive top-40 finishes before his T4 finish last week at the John Deere Classic.
This year will see the field compete for an increased purse of $9 million - a $1m increase from 2022 - with the winner taking home $1,620,000. The event will also offer three final spots for the Open at Hoylake, given to the highest finishers who aren't already in the field.
Here is the full projected prize money, payout breakdown and field for the 2023 Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club.
